Le Chant du Coq Floor Lamp

Ref.EB-000040

$5,800

A sculptural French floor lamp in hand-worked iron, circa 1950–1960, attributed to Jean Touret for Les Artisans de Marolles. A slender forged stem rises from a splayed tripod base, with a stylised iron rooster set along its length and a drip pan and candle sleeve beneath the shade. Its design, proportions and construction match documented examples of Touret's “Le Chant du Coq” model.

The hammered iron and playful rooster give it a warm, handcrafted character, as much at home beside a reading chair as in an entry or a quiet corner. As there is no maker's mark or original documentation, it is offered as attributed. Later wiring and custom shade.
